Full lyrics
Pra cantar forró
De norte a sul, ao leste
Tem que ser tão bom
Como Os 3 do Nordeste
Eu fui num forró
Forró de pé de serra
Forró igual aquele
Só se vê na minha terra
Festa de vaquejada
De cabra da peste
Quem tava puxando o fole
Era os três do nordeste
Eita forrozinho
Forrozinho bom
Parafuso na zabumba
Pingo da o tom
Ela da um grito
Animando o forró
O forró fica tão quente
Que do chão levanta pó
Translation
To sing forró
From north to south, to the east
You have to be as good
As Os 3 do Nordeste
I went to a forró
Forró de pé de serra
A forró like that one
You only see in my land
Vaquejada party
Of cabra da peste
Who was pulling the fole
It was Os 3 do Nordeste
Oh, what a forrozinho
Good forrozinho
Parafuso on the zabumba
Pingo sets the tone
She gives a shout
Cheering up the forró
The forró gets so hot
That dust rises from the ground
